The last time Jennifer Foley heard from her daughter, 21-year-old Rebecca Foley wanted to know what paired well with the pork loin she was going to cook for her boyfriend. Before she got the chance to cook supper, the Savannah State University student was shot to death inside her Volkswagen Beetle at Colonial Village at Marsh Cove apartments off White Bluff Road.

On Monday, Jennifer Foley, via the Internet, joined Eddie Foley at Savannah-Chatham police headquarters to ask the public to call in with information about their daughter’s Jan. 21 homicide.

“This is somebody’s sister,” Jennifer Foley said of her daughter. “This is somebody’s daughter. This is somebody’s girlfriend. This is somebody who is loved — was loved deeply.”

Police said they could not release any information about Foley’s death.

“Some aspects of this case appear obvious, but as investigators, we must take care in releasing them,” said detective James Lyttle, lead investigator on the case. “I understand that very little information has been released. Unfortunately, that’s what we have to work with at this time. A young lady was murdered, and we are trying to solve this case.”

Lyttle said police need for people who may have seen or heard anything unusual just before 7 p.m. Jan. 21 in the area of White Bluff near the apartments to call in.

“Any small clue could be the one that ties leads we have together,” he said.

Eddie Foley, who came from Gastonia, N.C., for the news conference, said his daughter was a caring, energetic, independent person who loved going to Tybee Island.

Jennifer Foley, talking via Skype from Calhoun, said her daughter, who worked for nearly two years at the Bush Insurance Agency, recently returned from a cruise with friends and was at a nail salon with her boyfriend before her death.

Rebecca Foley planned to cook dinner with her friends at Colonial Village at Marsh Cove for her boyfriend, who arrived just after the shooting and pulled her out of the car, Jennifer Foley said.

Jennifer Foley said she was not aware of any disagreements her daughter may have had with anyone.

“She was part of a huge family that was full of love that she was connected with, and, you know, it just doesn’t make any sense,” Jennifer Foley said. “She didn’t live the kind of life that involved guns and murder.”

Jennifer and Eddie Foley said dealing with their daughter’s death has been stressful, in no small part due to an apparent lack of leads and no information about a suspect being released after more than a month.

“Rebecca is and was who she was,” Jennifer Foley said. “You know, the essence of her is far-reaching. Her incredible energy and love is still here and is still shared and continues on. I miss my daughter deeply.”

Rebecca Foley’s parents are asking that anyone who may be able to help provide answers in their daughter’s homicide call police or CrimeStoppers.

“Somebody lost a daughter. A family lost a family member,” Lyttle said. “It’s important to us. We’re doing everything that we can to find out who did this, but this is one of those cases where we’re going to need help from the community.”

Rebecca Foley’s homicide is the only one of Savannah’s three homicide cases this year in which police have not made arrests. On Wednesday, police charged Anthony B. Parrish Jr., 21, with murder in the Feb. 24 fatal shooting of 20-year-old Marray Martin at a party on Florida Avenue. An alleged accomplice, Nathaniel Johnson, was charged with party to the crime of murder.

Investigations into the homicides of Foley, Martin and Colquitt are ongoing.
